Museum Experience Paper

On October 26, 2017. I made a visit to the Menil Collection by 1533 Sul Ross street, Houston Texas. It was amazing to be in such a lovely place. I was accompanied to the museum by my aunt name Cynthia. who volunteered in taking care of my new born baby during the trip. Everything at the museum is so great. Especially the people that work there, the way they communicate with the tourist was so simple and understanding. Even at the end of the visitation, I was given a sticker which was placed by the right-hand side of my chest. During the visit, they are some lots of great artworks that I admire so much.

For the History Museum paper, we took a trip to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia. It was interesting that the tour guide asked who has been there before and I was only one of three people who raised their hand. Nobody knowing I was born and raised in Philadelphia, I have been to the Penn Museum only once when I was younger. I was actually pretty excited to go again and see what has changed since I have been there.

According to the Getty museum states “Lagrenée played an important part in the French movement away from the Rococo style toward a more restrained, lassicizing expression”. “Deliberately rejecting the exuberant, artificial aesthetic of the mid-1700s, he revived instead the previous century's taste for cool colors and polished, refined technique”. The context in which the culture affected Alcibiades artwork was about race, gender, and class. Another information that I found interesting is that “The male dress is rendered in angular lines that contrast with the soft curves of the female attire. The men hold weapons as their job is war, while women’s jobs are concerned with children” . According to the Khan Academy states“In 1785 visitors to the Paris Salon were transfixed by one painting, Jacques- Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii. It depicts three men, brothers, saluting toward three swords held up by their father as the women behind him grieve—no one had ever seen a painting like it”.

Art by its nature is a subject of the philosophical, social, economic, political or religious context surrounding its creator. More often than not, a work of art addresses a specific topic or somewhat revolves around a particular person. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the context of a piece of painting, either historical or cultural, to its intrinsic value or the artwork's meaning. On the other hand, different cultures and time utilized specific conventions that govern the representation of objects of creativity. This essay highlights various pieces of art and their relationship to particular cultural, political, economic, or social settings. Moreover, it pinpoints how different times influence art presentation.

I went to the Cantor Center for Visual Arts on Stanford Campus on 2/28/13. I saw a lot of sculptures and vases there. They are very beautiful and interested. The most interested one I think was Kleophon Painter, “Volute Krater”, ca. 430 BCE, Greece, red-figure terra cotta vase, size 26’ ¾” * 19’ *19’. Hazel D. Hansen Fund, 12, 1972 Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. This vase is located in the Iris & B Gerald Cantor Center from the classical period between 479-323 BCE in Greece. The Kleophon Painter is an anonymous Athenian vase painter in red figure style. The name he is named because of a youth named “Kleophon”. He is also good at Achilles Painter; a number of “black figure” works in the mid-to-late 5th

Late on Wednesday night, my phone ringed. It was a text message from my friend Pedro, “Do you want to visit an art museum tomorrow”. Knowing I needed to go, I texted him back quickly, “pick me up after your class tomorrow and we can adventure to The Weatherspoon Art Museum at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro”. After Pedro’s class, we explored the museum observing multiple art works, and I was invoked by three, art pieces. All three were different and intriguing in their own way. For instance, the painting that is on top of the cover page with all the wavy hair was painted by Catherine Murphy and is known as the “Frosted”. This painting was very delightful because of its unique elements. Second, the sculpture in the middle of the cover page is an image of a wooded animal. This sculpture was crafted by Deborah Butterfield and is recognized as Lunalilo. Also, at the bottom of the cover page is a sculpture constructed by Dan Graham, the sculpture was known as Triangle Solid with

Museums are institutions of cultural, artistic, and scientific knowledge. They have taken many forms over the centuries, Older museums subscribed to elitist ideologies. The architecture and interior design of these highbrow establishments reflected this with either over the top grandeur or stark, blinding white galleries. However, has museum values became rooted in the community and public education, the architecture changed as well. The Royal Ontario Museum consists of two interconnected main buildings.

This was actually my first visit to this museum since I have gone to Kennesaw. My expectations were pretty high initially upon going, because I have heard so many things about it from my peers. Just by their opinions, and my love for art I have myself, I was actually excited about going in to take a look. I must say, I was not disappointed by any of the art work I saw in there. I really enjoyed the exhibit of work from some students from a high school around this area. It really shows that the college really supports the youth of the future and their passion for art as a whole.
